Try to keep your cool and don't try to anticipate when the examiner will ask you to stop.

This is the only time on your test that is no need for mirror checks or signals - the examiner has already checked it is safe and your brake lights will tell other road users what you are doing. Simply remove your foot from the accelerator (gas pedal) and brake firmly but not too hard that the brakes lock or you skid. Just before the car stops press the clutch pedal down. Keep both hands on the steering wheel as you brake to keep the car in a straight line - there's no need to worry about changing gear.</span></li><li style="background-color: white; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em; padding: 0px;">When the car has stopped, apply the handbrake and put the gear lever into neutral and take your feet off the pedals while you wait for the examiner's next instruction.</li><li style="background-color: white; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em; padding: 0px;">The examiner will then say something along the lines of; <em>"Thank you, I won't ask you to do that exercise again. Drive on and follow the road ahead when you're ready."</em></li><li style="background-color: white; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em; padding: 0px;">Before moving away you must perform an all-round observation including mirror checks, checking over both your left and right shoulder and giving a signal if necessary.</li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.5em;
